Why Practical Battery Runtime Varies:

The theoretical formula Runtime ≈ (Capacity (Ah) × Voltage (V) × DoD) / Load (W) provides a baseline estimate. In real-world applications, practical runtime varies due to:

  • Peukert's Law: Higher current discharge rates reduce the effective usable battery capacity.
  • Battery Chemistry: Lithium-Ion (LiFePO4) maintains stable voltage up to 90%+ DoD, whereas Lead-Acid batteries degrade under deep discharge (>50%).
  • Ambient Temperature & Aging: Cold weather and battery degradation over time lower overall storage capacity.
